In the pitch-black corridor, Maria sprinted at high speed. Her legs formed a series of afterimages, and her speed was already extremely fast.
Beside her, three young men were drenched in blood. Their eyes were filled with fear as they chased after Maria with all their might. It was as if there was a super ferocious beast chasing after them.
"What should we do!?" One of the black-haired and black-eyed young men exclaimed, "He's catching up."
"Damn it, how do we get out of here?" Another green-haired young man said with a broken expression.
At this moment, the last golden-haired youth suddenly stopped in his tracks and gasped for breath.
Maria and the others also stopped and shouted, "Are you crazy? Why aren't you running? "
The golden-haired young man laughed hysterically, "Why should we run? We can't escape at all. I'm not running anymore. The result is death anyway. What's the difference if I die earlier or later? "
With that, he lay down on the ground with a thud, as if he had made up his mind not to run.
Maria and the other two young men looked at each other and ran again without saying a word. They could only hear the violent panting of the golden-haired young man getting further and further away from them.
In the next moment, a blood-curdling scream rang out. The scream was filled with resentment and fear. Then, it suddenly disappeared, as if something had forcefully interrupted the sound.
The three of them were shocked when they heard the scream. They looked at each other and seemed to see the fear in each other's eyes.
Silently, the three of them quickened their pace again. They heard the sound of air flowing. In the empty and dark corridor, there was only the sound of the wind and footsteps.
At the next moment, the three of them saw a man with a faint white light appearing in front of them.
"Who is it?" The green-haired young man frowned. Without waiting for the other party to answer, he had already punched out with a thunderbolt toward the man's face.
"No!" Maria shouted, but it was too late to stop him.
Just as the green-haired youth's fist was about to hit the other party's face, his entire body had already stopped in mid-air, as if he had been frozen by an invisible force. His entire face was red, but he still could not move at all.
A look of surprise flashed across the other black-haired youth's face. "Senior, please show mercy. Luo Ke was just too nervous and couldn't help but attack."
The man in front of them was naturally Fang Xingjian. He swept his gaze across the three people before him and suddenly looked at Maria, who seemed to want to say something but was hesitant to do so. He asked calmly, "You know me?"
Maria nodded slightly. Of course, she knew him.
Close to one year ago, she and her father had gone to the Myriad Star Mountain to learn from a master. However, they had coincidentally encountered Fang Xingjian, who had come to challenge the Astral Ancestor.
He even asked her if she wanted to be his disciple.
It was a pity that back then, Maria had been too young and had rejected this great opportunity.
Later on, as Fang Xingjian's reputation grew and even shook the southern region, defeating Alexander, the Heavenly Lion King, and many other experts, Maria came to understand what she had missed out on.
Over the past one year, she had also been cultivating hard on the Myriad Star Mountain and had improved tremendously. However, every time she thought of how she had had the chance to be Fang Xingjian's disciple, she would feel extremely regretful.
Although Fang Xingjian had not been able to recognize her at the start, after searching through his memories, he was able to recognize her.
'Maria?'
Fang Xingjian pondered for a moment and instantly understood what was going on.
Back then, he had sensed from his Sudden Inspiration that she might be of some use to him. By the looks of it, if he were to take in Maria as his disciple, he might be able to discover the problem with the seal in advance?
However, these things were just trivial matters to him. He went through them in his mind and stopped thinking about them. Instead, he looked at Maria and asked, "How long have you guys been here? Tell me everything that happened. Don't miss out on any details. "
The black-haired young man would occasionally turn his head and look at the black corridor behind him. It was as if there was something terrifying hidden there.
His face was filled with anxiety and nervousness. When he heard Fang Xingjian's words, he said anxiously, "There's no time. He's chasing after us. Let's talk as we move."
"Him?" Fang Xingjian looked in the direction of the corridor behind the black-haired young man and asked, "What is he?"
"He'll eat us up." The black-haired young man's expression became increasingly anxious as he spoke rapidly, "Senior, listen to me. Let go of Locke first. We'll talk as we escape. Otherwise, we'll really be eaten up by him. "
However, a curious smile appeared on Fang Xingjian's face. "Is he very powerful?"
When the black-haired young man saw how calm Fang Xingjian was, he felt that Fang Xingjian did not know how powerful the situation was. The black-haired young man was so anxious that he kept on going in circles. He said quickly, "Everyone here was killed by him. There's no lack of top-notch Conferred Knights and Demigods among them. "He's chasing after us right now. We must escape immediately."
"Oh?" Fang Xingjian asked, "Then how did you guys manage to survive until now?"
"I don't know!" The black-haired young man became a little impatient. He stared at Fang Xingjian and said, "If you don't wish to die, then quickly let go of Locke. If you don't leave now, all of us will die."
"Don't worry. With me around, none of you will die," Fang Xingjian said calmly.
However, the black-haired young man seemed to be extremely nervous and anxious. When a roar rang out from the corridor behind him, he was like a frightened kitten. He stomped fiercely on the ground, and with an explosive bang, he shot out like a cannonball.
He wanted to give up on everyone present and dash out from behind Fang Xingjian.
However, just as he was about to dash past Fang Xingjian's back, his body paused for a moment and then froze in midair. His entire body was trembling, and each of his muscles was doing their best to contract and explode. However, it was impossible for him to break free from Fang Xingjian's restraints.
"Let go of me! If you guys want to die, don't implicate me! "
Naturally, Fang Xingjian could not care less about his will. With a wave of his hand, Maria and the other two young men floated behind him. He turned to look at the pitch-black and bottomless corridor, and a hint of a smile curled up the corners of his lips. "What the hell is this?"
Accompanied by a series of low roars, a strange-looking fish slowly crawled out from the darkness.
It was a badly mutilated fish that seemed to be formed from the broken limbs of countless people. Over ten human limbs grew out from its lower body, allowing it to crawl on the ground.
Its huge mouth opened and closed unconsciously, releasing a series of low roars. Its huge and lifeless eyes stared left and right at both sides of the corridor like two large light bulbs.
Under its head, one could faintly see human tissues rising and falling, as if forming a part of its body. There were even many ordinary black carps, goldfish, and the like poking out from the surface of its body.
Anyone who saw the appearance of this strange fish would only have one thought in their mind — this was a monster that should not have appeared in this world.
As the fish appeared, everyone present felt a hint of evil, fear, and horror. It was as if countless caterpillars were crawling up their spines.
